Experience
Founder, CEO
Feb 2008 — Present · Ventura, CA, US
Gold Mountain Media is a hands-on, client focused media agency specializing in direct response media (TV, radio, and social media advertising) with annual billings reaching over $50 million. As the president, I actively interact with clients as well as television stations and networks while managing all corporate issues relating to finance, personnel, information technologies, in addition to personally managing monthly media billings of over $2.5M.Under my leadership we have faced every challenge over the past 18 years with a commitment to the highest standards of integrity, focusing on the interest of our clients while always treating our vendor relationships with fairness and the desire to ensure mutual success. Despite a variety of crises, including the departure of the firm’s senior partner after a failed merger, and significant losses of over $500K due in part to the economic down turn, in 2008, I was able to assume 100% control of the business, maintain 100% of our client relationships, retain all key employees, and return the company to profitability within 1 year.With the help of a dedicated and talented staff, I have built a company with a solid reputation for doing everything possible to help our clients, and always being accessible and treating our vendors with respect and professionalism. I have been able to train a team of the highest quality people who know how to communicate effectively and solve problems with skill and creativity.
